Madonnina dei Centauri Motorcycle Blessing

The 2025 Motorcycle Blessing was held on Sunday, May 4, 2025, in Castellazzo Bormida, in the province of Alessandria. As noted in local reports, "the festive roar of hundreds of engines peacefully invaded the streets of Castellazzo Bormida" for the traditional motorcycle blessing.

The day, organized by the Moto Club Castellazzo Bormida, followed the usual program: meeting and registration in the morning at the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine della Creta, Holy Mass, blessing of the motorcycles, a scenic ride through the Monferrato hills, and a convivial lunch in the town center. In 2025, the initiative once again confirmed its deep bond with the devotion to the Madonnina dei Centauri, the patron saint of motorcyclists.
